Brock Lesnar has been on a tear since winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam on August 17th of this year. Just a few days ago, Lesnar defended his title in a rematch against John Cena at Night of Champions. Despite technically losing the match, Lesnar was able to retain his coveted championship thanks to the interference of Seth Rollins. However, Lesnar continues to be a part-time competitor -- only making a handful of appearances in a month. Last nights Monday Night Raw was no different, as the champ was nowhere to be found. Interestingly, the Beasts advocate, Paul Heyman, was also conspicuous by his absence. According to reports, Paul Heyman was originally scheduled to appear on Raw to speak on behalf of his client. However, it seems that plans changed at some point during the day, as Heyman failed to appear. Rumors suggest that the reason is because WWE is unsure of where to go from here. Speculation and logic would point to another rematch between Cena and Lesnar for next months Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event. According to sources, that potential matchup has not been planned at this point. As a matter of fact, it seems that there have been no plans made for Hell in a Cell at this point. There were no announced matches coming out of Raw last night, however, the company has more than a month to book the show. While a decision has yet to be made, another rematch between Brock Lesnar and John Cena seems to be the most likely choice. While Seth Rollins may have rubbed Lesnar the wrong way with his attempted cash in and Curb Stomp, its doubtful that a championship match for Rollins would be made. It will be interesting to see what direction WWE decides to go for Hell in a Cell. Will Lesnar once again defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against John Cena, or will a new competitor step up to the challenge? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
